There are people you meet acceso your way and who, without making noise, leave you something indelible. Amedeo Pasquino for me was just this: an authentic, generous, competent man. A friend. And today that he left us, I struggle to put order between words and emotions.
Every time we saw each other, it was always a joy. His smile, his affectionate way of greeting me, his sincere availability: with Amedeo there was always a beautiful moment to share, a real confrontation, a kind word. He had a good and intelligent , which immediately put you at ease.
Amedeo was not only a great professional con the world of wine and a pillar for Ais Lecce. It was also a friend who has always believed con me and acceso the journey of Vinoway. He deeply appreciated our work, followed him with passion and pride and every time we met he never failed to make me feel his support. This for me meant a lot.
He was a cardinal figure of the Apulian wine scene: a man who has been able to combine the discipline of his past con the State Police with a passion for wine and culture, transforming Ais Lecce into one of the most dynamic realities con Italy. But above all, he left a human imprint that few know how to leave.
I remember him with affection, with deep esteem and with a sincere gratitude. For everything he has given. For all that has been.
Hi Amedeo. From today the sky has a new sommelier … and I am sure that even up there you will be teaching to recognize the scents of life, pouring emotions con every glass. Every time I toast to the beauty of this profession, I will feel next to you. And it will be as if I had never gone away.
